Valentine's Day may just be one day out of the year, but it's a perfect excuse to treat you and your loved ones to something special.

Luckily, there are some super shops in Hockessin offering great discounts on Valentine's Day gifts that will last way beyond February 14.

CHEFS' HAVEN

This specialty foods store is offering a large variety of specialty chocolates and a wide variety of cheeses and cured meats. Best of all, chef and owner Mark Eastman has gift certificates to some of his most popular cooking classes available.

If food is truly the way to someone's heart, then your next stop should be Woodside Farm Creamery. The Creamery will open its doors from Noon until 7 p.m. on Feb. 12-14 to sell Valentine's Ice Cream Cakes and three kinds of Ice Cream pies - Peppermint Chip and Chocolate (Oreo crust); Strawberry and Chocolate (Oreo crust - this flavor is specially made for Valentine's Day); and Cappuccino Crunch and Vanilla (graham cracker crust). All pies are $18 each.

The Creamery will also be featuring individual wrapped heart shaped fudge in both their Chocolate and Chocolate Peanut Butter flavors at $3.

Quarts ($6.49) and pints ($4.29) will be available for purchase in about 18 different flavors. They will also be dipping seven ice cream flavors in either cups/bowls, or waffle cones. – YUM!

Nothing says I love you more than the gift of pampering. Beauty Bar by Saiko, an environmentally conscience salon that is relatively new to the Hockessin community, has three great specials going on during the entire month of February. The Cherry Chocolate Rose Facial is only $85, a savings of $20. Masseuse Jenn is offering massages for 90 minutes for the price of 60 minutes. And, if you book and service with Emily or Darlene, and receive a complimentary organic deep conditioning treatment.

Mention the specials when booking your appointments online or mention them when calling. They are good through Feb. 28, 2013.

There are more pampering options around the corner at Lasting Looks, located in Hockessin Corners Shopping Center. This permanent cosmetics and lash bar is offering a cherry chocolate spa facial for only $59. The Cherry Berry Peel will gently exfoliate winter skin while infusing your skin with rich antioxidants to fight the aging process, while the Chocolate Masque will tighten and tone.

Believe it or not, but Corrective Chiropractic, which also offers services such as lifestyle advice and physiotherapy, has a Valentine's Day Massage Special. People will receive ten percent off all massage packages purchased this month. Also, a one hour massage will be $52 if you buy 5 massages (that can be shared), and $57 per massage if you buy 3 massages.
